Form & Verdict
Fast-improving mare who has been on the rampage over the last fortnight, winning two 2m chases and two hurdles (2m4f/2m) on good ground; carries 7lb penalty for Tuesday's success over fences at Southwell but did that pretty easily; obvious contender, providing she's not derailed by significant rain.

J: Harry Skelton

T: Dan Skelton

Rapidly improving mare, having won three chases and two hurdles (2m4f/2m) on good ground in the space of a fortnight, latest at Worcester yesterday on the bridle and value for markedly more than the winning margin; respected assuming she again turns out quickly, although any significant easing of the ground would be a concern.

Fast-improving mare who won easily on chasing debut at Worcester (2m, good; first-time tongue-tie) 12 days ago and has quickly added two easy hurdle wins (2m4f/2m, good) to her tally; probably still a long way ahead of the handicapper and can continue her winning spree here.
